I generally like my coffee black. Rare are the times I crave something creamy like a latte or cappuccino. However, I do enjoy a refreshing iced coffee when the weather calls for it. Ever since I first heard about Kori Coffee, a Japanese iced coffee drink, I knew I had to give it a try. Coffee is used to make the ice cubes instead of water, so the drink never becomes watered down. The cubes slowly melt in the warm milk, releasing the coffee as you sip. I also added cocoa powder to satisfy my morning sweet tooth!

I’ve always been fascinated by ice. When mixing cocktails, you quickly realize that ice is a big deal. Different drinks call for different types of ice. For example, a mint julep requires a mountain of […]

This looks so good. I love the smell of coffee and the taste, but I don’t drink it because it doesn’t make me feel good. Wishing that wasn’t the case here. This looks like a coffee drinkers dream.
Great photos.

As a fellow black-coffee aficionado, sweet coffee drinks are generally off my list. However, *THIS* looks simply amazing. Only problem is that I think I’m going to have to battle my wife for our one (yeah, only one!!) ice cube tray and try this out. I’ve just purchased a pound of Philz Tesora blend so we’ll give this a go tomorrow morning. Thanks “Yumsters” for another outstanding recipe. BTW, I’m with Margaret above and if you deliver to her, please deliver to me as well! 😀

OMG this looks so good can’t wait for my sister to visit so I can knock her socks off! We both love our coffee and I just recently move to Airzona (110 degrees most day) and have switch to drinking ice coffee all the time. I will always have 2 ice cube trays in the freeze. Thank you for a wonderful treat Todd.

thanks for this idea…brewing coffee right now for my cubes! Just wondering- for the mocha- did you use just plain cocoa powder, with no sweetener? I don’t see any mention of any other ingredients. Does it blend into the warm milk without lumps?

Did you have any difficulty removing the coffee cubes from the tray? I found it was harder than when I use water, enough to break my ice cube tray in two when trying to twist it! The cubes just wouldn’t come out…Maybe I’ll try letting it sit outside for a few minutes before trying to get the cubes out next time.

Hi Marie-Eve, sorry about your ice cube tray! Hmm…I didn’t notice much of a difference, but maybe that’s because I used a silicone tray. The cubes were a bit syrupy, so I can totally see how they could stick. I’d say with a plastic tray let them sit for a minute or two like you said, or run the bottom of the tray under a bit of lukewarm water for a few seconds.

Just tried it out, delicious! i had to use a smaller glass and my ice tray was smaller so i had to use less or the milk would get out. I tried using coffee from powder because i have no coffee brewer, but it worked anyway, and now i’m drinking a very nice Mocha Coffee that refreshes me from this hot weather. Thanks for the recipe
